SINGAPORE — Swimmers from Singapore and Indonesia will square off in the inaugural Duel Meet that will see them race head to head in an array of events at the Gelora Bung Karno Aquatic Centre in Jakarta, Indonesia, from 28 to 29 Jan.
Among the top swimmers representing Singapore in the Duel Meet are Commonwealth Games silver medalist Teong Zhen Wei, and Quah Ting Wen, representing the nation at the 2008 and 2016 Olympics. Hosts Indonesia will be headlined by breaststroke specialist Gagarin Nathaniel Yus and sprinter Patricia Yosita.
While this may be the first such meet of its kind, Tan hopes that it won’t be the last and believes that it can be built towards strengthening the aquatics scene for the two countries.
